The Ohio River Failing.
LOUISVILLE, February 7th.-At noon the
river was falling al the rate of half an inch
an hour, and the danger of a repe .ition of

The Interstate Commerce Commission.
New YORK, February 7th.-rhe Suns
Washington special says: Ii is probable
the President will appoint the Interstate

what can be gathered he discarded most
OF the applications for places ON hand, and
will select men himself regardless OF re-
commentators. \ well-known politician
says it may be that a new man from the
Pacific coast will be selected in place of one
of the others. 1t is likely to be John II.

uncertainty, however, and their names are

Trouble Ahead.

When the appetite fails and sleep grows
restless and unrefreshing, there is trouble
ahead. The digestive organs, when healthy,
crave food tbe nervous system, when Wig
orous and tranquil, gives its possessor no
uneasiHess al night. a tonic, to be effec-
tive, should not be mere appetizer nor
are the nerves to be strengthened and
soothed by the unaided action OF seda
tive or narcotic. What is required is a
medicine which invigorates the stomach
an promotes assimilation OF food by the
system, by which means the nervous sys-
TEN, as well as other parts Of the physical
organism, is strengthened. These are the
effects OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. a
medicine whose reputation is founded
firmly in pnblic confidence, and which
physicians commend for its tonic, anti
bilious and other properties. 1t is used
with the best results in fever and ague,
rheumatism, kidney and uterine weakness
and other maladies

devel ppments this week but are dark about
their nature. On the Clyde Line dock the

STATEMENT BY A PASSENGER.

Henry W. TewkSbury, OF West Ran
dolph, VT, the lecturer, states that he was
III the first day coach. He was doing at
the time of the accident but was aroused
by feeling the car jumping up on the rail-
road ties. He had been in two railroad
accidents before this one and knew what
the sensation portended Realizing that
an accident was about to occur, he jumped
from his seat with the intention of making
his escape, when the train seemed 10 come
to standsrill or go very slowly. He
thought it was all right and so sat down
again. Then without moments warning
that anything further was to occur, the car
seemed to leap into space and then came a
terrible crash. For a moment he was
stunned and scarcely knew whether he was
dead or alive. lie tried to move but found
he could not bulge an inca. He noticed
with great alarm that a fire had broken
ont at the farther end of the coach He
struggled with all his strength to free him
self and screamed for help, but there was
no one at hand to help him. 1t was time
of mental torture, but still he could not
help noticing an old couple who were four
seats above him. They sought to get out.
but were hopelessly tied down by the
heavy seats. The flames approached
the couple with frightful rapidity,
and the aged pair seemed to feel
that there was no hope for them. The last
he saw of them they were locked in each
others arms and in the act OF kissing.
Smoke and flames now enveloped them,
hiding them from view. Mr.. Tewh sbury
then gave himself up for lost He seized
his fur cap and wound it around his face
so as to cover his eyes and hide the dread
full view from approaching death. AT this
time the railroad bridge above him was one
mass of fire, and heavy burning timbers
were falling all about him. Having leaned
back resignedly to meet what seemed his
fearful fate, his hopes of life were renewed
by hearing voices. He unwound his fur
cap. and saw the engineer and fireman
close at hand He called to them franti-
cally or assist lnce, which they proffered
at once Selling hold of him, his rescuers
sought to pull him out, but failed. Think
ing that his was hopeless case, they were
about to leave him and help others, but he
begged them to try again and to break his
leg if necessary. They did so, and man.
aged to get him out, breaking mis- leg and
an arm in the effort The flames were so
close IL .,on Mr-Tewksbury that his clothing
was burned from his body.
